Circularly polarized light has properties that make it useful in a growing range of technologies, from next-generation 3D ...

Laser-assisted electron scattering was observed using circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses in the near-infrared range, a first for this technique. Energy and angular distributions of ...

A new semipolar InGaN LED with an integrated metasurface produces circularly polarized light at 68% conversion efficiency, surpassing the 50% theoretical limit. By combining a semipolar InGaN ...

Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. Left and right circularly polarized light, where the ...

An ultracompact circularly polarized light source is crucial component for the applications of classical and quantum optics information processing. The development of this field relies on the advances ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated. This could enable a new ...

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, the ...
